Want To Recommend An Excellent Book On Lap Banding



Recommended Posts

I am still in the pre op stage, waiting to hear from my surgeon on when I can expect to be scheduled. In the meantime, I've been doing as much research as possible on my own, particularly in dealing with my feelings right now. The better informed I am, the less anxiety I tend to have.

Anyway, I happened across a book on my Nook titled Fighting Weight by Kahliah Ali. Kahliah is one of Muhammed Ali's six daughters whose life, other than having a celebrity father, is very similar to my own.

This book is the best resource I have read yet, on what to expect and how to prepare myself. There are no recipes in this book... but a good portion of it is information provided by Ms. Ali's surgical team.

I cannot recommend this book enough!

Good thoughts to all,

I read this book too, and it was nice to hear first person experience. I really recommend you purchase "Bandwagon" by Jean McMillan, it is the most comprehensive book about pre-op, post-op and everything in between.

Bandwagon, by our very own Jean McMillian.

You have a question and she's sure to answer it. You can also find her articles at LBT magazine thread.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
